The Winterbourne Arms, Winterbourne Dauntsey

One of the best 'main road countryside' pubs I've had the pleasure to visit. You have to take the sign on the front door ('Warm beer, lousy food, bad service. Welcome. Have a nice day') with a pinch of salt. They actually offer good beer, a wide range of reasonably-priced food, and a relaxed atmosphere, all adding to an enjoyable experience. Shame for the smelly old bloke and his mutt, who came over and rudely interrupted what would otherwise have been a perfect lunch.
